How to edit items in IPhoto "keywords"

How do I edit the contents of the i photo "keywords' file

Why do you want/need to edit the file? You edit the keywords by typing them into the Keywords brick in the "Info" panel or using the "Manage My Keywords" panel - you can launch it from the "Window" menu. Then press the "Edit Keywords" button.

How can I see my iPhoto keywords in Aperture

I have iLife 08 and Aperture 1.5.6. I thought from the training video I would be able to see my keywords from iPhoto in Aperture. When I imported from iPhoto to Aperture, I don't even see my smart albums in there.

Are you looking for your entire list of keywords, or the keywords assigned to individual photos? The keywords in the photos should be there since Aperture knows how to read yoru iPhoto library in which your keyworded photos were stored.
Where are you looking for the keywords and not finding them? (I know that's not a very well phrased question. Like when I was a kid and my parents asked me and my brothers "Who didn't take out the garbage." The answer, of course, is "everybody in the world, since's still in the house.")
Okay, so where were you expecting to find the keywords that you didn't?

How to edit items of a combo box that is part of an array of clusters

Hi,
In the attached vi, I have an array of clusters, and each cluster contain two combo boxes. How do I edit the items in Combo Box 1 for all elements of the array? (All Combo Box 1 elements shall include the same items.)
For illustration, I also included the trivila case, i.e., editing the items in a separate combo box that is is not part of an array of clusters (Combo Box 3). Please advise. Thanks.

How to keep ONLY the iPhoto 08 - edited version ?

Good day,
First of all, let me explain teh structure I intend to use : I have migrated my complete iPhoto 08 database into Apertue (+/- 3200 pictures) to be able to use the extended storage and edition tools.
I'm keep iPhoto only for "friendly" purposes, like ordering books, cards, etc..., and then, I'll import/reference the Aperture files into iPhoto.
The problem I encounter is that on several pictures, I made thorough adjustments with Photoshop, while they were still in iPhoto. So this "rework" is imported in Aperture as "iPhoto edited", a version of the master file.
For several of them, I want to get rid of the genuine master file, and only keep the reworked version.
But the problem is that if I want to delete the original, Aperture also deletes my reworked version.
So my question is : how can I "break" the link between the two of them, so I can trash the genuine file only ?
(My formulation is a bit confusing, I agree, but the whole situation is confusing me … too ! :0) )
Thanks in advance for your help !

Since edited photos have the keyword 'iPhoto Edited' and originals have 'iPhoto Original' on them, and the ones with an Edited version are stacked with the original ones..
So.. to get rid of the Original ones (but only those which have an edited version);
You can make a new smart album (make it when you are in the library, so that it encompasses all your images.) make it look for images with the keyword iPhoto Edited, DO NOT IGNORE STACKS.
This way you get an album with all your (iPhoto) Edited photos and their counterpart Original.
Then Open all stacks (shift+k if I recall correctly) (dont unstack, just open them).
Then select all images (cmd+a) choose 'New Album from selection'.
In that new album you can unstack the images (if you used unstack in the smart album the originals would disapear because they dont meet the parameters of the smart album)
Then simply sort them by keyword, and then easily delete all the iPhoto Originals which should be grouped either on the top or bottom.
Then you are left with their Edited counterparts.

How can I edit photos in iPhoto in Photoshop Elements? I select PE in iPhoto preferences but they stay in iPhoto for editing.

How can I edit photos in iPhoto in Photoshop Elements? I select PE in iPhoto preferences but they stay in iPhoto for editing.

Here's something you can try with a copy of your current library.
1 - go to iPhoto's Events preference pane and set the auto split option to 1 day per even.
2 - go the the Events mode, select all Events.
3 - go to the Events menu and and select Autosplit Selected Events.
which will give you an event for each day.
4 - again select all events (although it might be better do to fewer at a time) and export them to your desired destination via the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu option with the following settings:
The workflow above will produce a folder for each days photos with the date as the folder's title.

How to edit the list box items in labwindow/CVI?

how to edit the list box items in labwindow/CVI?

Listbox items cannot be edited directly in the control: what you can do is to select a line an, transfer its content to a textbox control, edit text there and move text back to the listbox control. Available interactions with the listbox control are listed in the help.
An alternative to it is to use a tree customized to appear like a listbox: tree item labels can be edited directly in the control, at least those in the base column of the tree. You can look at the example \samples\userint\treelist.cws that shows how a tree can be customized this way. I haven't opened it, but this old example too should show the ability to edit tree cells.

How 2 get edited photo from iphoto app back into iPhoto?

I have the new iPhoto app.
I can't seem to get my edit photos back into iPhoto on my imac.
I thought save to iTunes would do it but it doesn't seem to do anything.
Sure would like to just go back to my mac and find the photo updated.
I have the photo stream turned off and just sync with a cable.
Problem 2
The photos and albums seem to be in random order. This makes it almost impossible to find the photo I want to edit.
Can anybody please help?

<If you are using the cable: Connect your iPad > open iPhoto > select your iPad on the left under devices > Import <button top right of iPhoto (blue button).
<
<Do not import through iTunes.
Sorry - that was no help.
If I edit a photo in e iPhoto app then connect and bring up iPhoto on my mac the iPad device has no photos to import.
I have imported hundreds of photos from iPhones and iPads - I know how to import.
Even if there was a photo laying there to import - that is not what I want because...
Imagine if I had 100 photos then edited all 100 photos on my iPad.
Then if I imported them I would now have 200 photos in iPhoto on my mac.
I want the edited photo to update the original just as tho I edited it in iPhoto on my mac.
So I could "Revert to Original" if I needed to but probably never would.
So the question is when you share to iTunes where does it go?
Also the new album it creates "Edited" - What's the story on that?

How to save photoshop CS5 extended edited photos in iphoto on Mac?

Hi this is my first post on here, so i'm unsure if i have put my question in the right place? etc....?
I have only just purchased CS5 extended and have just been on a intro course, and today decided to edit a few of my photos in photoshop.
i opened my photo from iphoto and edited it fine, that part was fairly easy to do, once i had finished i then went to file to save my photo, which i thought was straight forward as per click on 'save' once i had done that i closed the photo down, then moved onto another photo to edit.
after which i was looking through the iphoto folder, and i noticed that the photos i had edited using photoshop were still showing the parts of the picture that i had edited out i.e. overhead cables were showing in the picture! when i clicked on the photo to make it larger the edited version appeared.. i.e. no cables were showing!!
now am i going mad here, how has this happened? the next time i did a 'save as' and selected to save as and replace the original, but yet again the small picture in the folder is still displaying the original, now how am i going to know which photos have been edited and which haven't unless i click on them to make them large and show up the edited version!!!!! do i need to save the edited photo in a differnt way?
sorry for the long post but i wanted to give you all the info i thought might be of help.
Many thanks if you have read this far and i await your comments....Marie

Forget about iPhoto. Honestly.
iPhoto doesn't play nice with Photoshop—or any other program, as a matter of fact.
iPhoto uses a "libraries" paradigm and buries your images deep in "packages" only iPhoto can access. (Sure, there are workarounds, but what a hassle!).
I routinely delete the iPhoto application from all my OS X installs.
I suppose what you can do—if you insist on using that program—is to open the Photoshop-edited image with iPhoto and do a Save As from iPhoto itself.

Trying to find out how to edit artwork, keywords, titles, and descriptions

Trying to find out how to edit artwork, keywords, titles, and descriptions for my own video podcast that I have created for the iTunes store. My podcast shows on the first page in the itunes store (podcasts) for "forex" "forex training" and "forex education" under the name "fastpips", however I can't seem to find out how to change the title, for each podcast, the description, and keywords. I also want to add artwork to my podcast. I know how to do it under options for my own iTunes on my personal computer, but don't know how to edit it for others to see in the store itself. Thanks so much for any advice. By the way, I upload all my video podcasts to iTunes via ScreenCast.com I'm not sure if this will help, but here is the domain for the screencast files: http://www.screencast.com/users/ForexProFund/folders/FastPips.com%20Forex%20Trad ing%20and%20Forex%20Education

I have a similar question, I would like to edit the artwork for EACH episode in the podcast, as well as have one artwork for the entire podcast series. Any suggestions? This is a podcast that I've created -- I did the same thing for a TV Show where I was able to do custom artwork for each episode, but not one single artwork for the entire series. Does anyone have suggestions of how i should proceed?
Recap:
One image for entire Podcast Series (or TV show)
Different Set of Images for each episode in Podcast. (Understand how to do this in TV show)
Thanks!

How to edit keywords in Finder?

Perhaps this is really obvious... but....
How do I edit a file's keywords? I have some PDFs, and I want to "tag" them with a keyword. I know I can open up Preview, and edit the keywords in the inspector... but how do I do it in Finder? Can I? Is there any way to tag a file?

That'll do it, yep! Thanks for the tip.
I would never have equated "spotlight comments" with the concepts of "keyword tagging" -- but whatever. It worked.
Thanks!

How do I get rid of "(iPhoto)" keyword?

Years back, when I migrated from iPhoto to Aperture, I imported tens of thousands of pictures that I had at that point. I've since been tagging all the new pictures with initials of my kids, but have run into a keyword problem I can't solve:
approx 1/2 of the photos have "DMW" applied, and the other 1/2 have what the keyword filter shows as "DMW (iPhoto)" as the keyword, despite me only seeing "DMW" in the keyword list and all the rest of the UX. I can't just "replace" keywords since most have other people in them picture and carry multiple other keywords.
This is the case for ~10 different keywords that I simply can't get rid of...any suggestions!?
~Douglas

You have two different DMW keywords - one at the toplevel of your hierarchie of keywords, and one DMW as a subcategory of "iPhoto". When you imported iPhoto, probably that keyworrd was created automatically.
You can merge these two keywords from the keywords HUD. Then the iPhoto version will be merged into the toplevel DMW keyword.
Launch the Keywords HUD by typing ⇧H (or "Window > Show Keywords HUD").
When the HUD opens enter DMW into the search field.
Now you will see two instances of DMW.
Drag the lower DMW down to the bottom of the HUD to move it to the toplevel.
Now you should see a warning.
Press "Merge Keywords".
All your DMW tagged photos will now have the same DMW tag.
Alternately you could delete the DMW(iPhoto) keyword using the delete button at the footer of the HUD. That will remove it from the photos.

How does one merge existing IPhoto 11 Libraries on an External HD?

I have an IPhoto 11 Library on my IMAC. I have multiple IPhoto Libraries on my external HD. I use Snow Leopard 10.6.8, IPhoto 11 (v. 9.2.3).
I am not sure how I got them, other than Apple at one point backed up all my files onto my external Seagate HD in order to completely wipe out and do the most extensive reinstall they could due to a malfunction of Time Machine located on a Lacie External HD.
In addition, I must have backed up my IPhoto Library onto my Seagate HD.
My question was how to merge two or more libraries located on my Seagate HD, backup my IPhoto Library onto the Seagate, and eliminating duplicates.
I think I have found my answer after 3 days of searching YouTube, Apple Discussions, Books, google.
It may be long and convoluted but I think I am doing nothing wrong. I wish comments as to improvement or flaws in my procedure.
From what I can glean, IPhoto does not permit merging of multiple libraries, that external programs such as IPhoto Library Manager and IPhoto Duplicate Annihilator are what most recommended. In addition, Aperture vs. Lightroom were discussed.
My solution using just the external HD's and IMAC for transferring photos in their original format (RAW, Jpeg, etc) from my IMAC to an individual IPhoto Library on my Seagate HD.
1. Locate proper IPhoto library, the one on my IMAC by holding the ALT/Option key then depressing and holding the IPhoto Application key located on the Dock until a window pops open, slide my mouse to the window to the line that says, "Open" and releasing only the mouse key while still depressing the ALT/Option key. This will open a window which will permit me to select from the different IPhoto Libraries. If some bear the same name, a look at the pathway on the bottom of the window will show which are on the Seagate HD.
2. Click on the library desired to be opened, in this case, the IMAC IPhoto Library. This will open IPhoto.
3. Select an image, from the Events, Open that image, Open the Info pain (lower right) noting name of file and file size, example CRW_0555 6.5mb a Cannon Raw file. Click on "Edit" which will permit editing.
Hover over image of photo and Right Click with Mouse, window will open, slide cursor down to "Duplicate" the photo and Left click. A duplicate RAW file will be made.
4. Click on Info to close out the Edit mode, Click on the Date Arrow (Upper left of IPhoto window) to get back to the name of the event.
5. Highlight the selected photo or photos, File > Export, select "Original", not the Jpeg that automatically appears.
6. Click Export. New window will appear, in my case telling me it will go to Pictures. Move cursor to window and select via arrow, Desktop to export to. The duplicate RAW file will now appear on your Desktop.
7. Close IMac IPhoto Library.
8. Follow steps 1 & 2 above to Open the desired Library on the Seagate External HD.
9. Drag the RAW desktop Image into IPhoto Library, either into Events or Last Import.
10. Close IPhoto Library.
11. Reopen IPhoto Library by clicking on the IPhoto App located on the Dock. The last library opened, will now be the default, which was the Seagate External IPhoto Library, will open. Click on the RAW image you imported from the Desktop, verify through Info that the Image name and file size and type are exactly the same, in my case, CRW_0555 6.5mb.
12. Drag Image on the DeskTop into the Trash. (Empty at will).
13. You have now taken a duplicated Image or group of selected duplicated images which you created, which you have highlighted in IPhoto on your IMac, dragged them to your Desktop, switched libraries to a selected library on your External HD. and transferred an exact copy into that external IPhoto Library.
Utilizing this basic technique, you can now do any of the following.
Backup your entire IMac Library onto an External HD into a library of the same name.
Take one or more selected images, highlighting each image in an particular Event on your IMAC HD.
Transferring an exact copy of those Images into any particular IPhoto Library on your External HD.
Transfer one image in an external HD IPhoto Library-1 into another external HD IPhoto Library-2 on the same HD (by simply opening up HD IPhoto Library-1, selecting photo, duplicating photo, Exporting Photo to Desktop, Closing IPhoto, Switching Libraries to IPhoto Library-2, opening that Library, dragging Desktop photo into IPhoto Library-2.
You can identify all IPhoto Libraries on all drives and rename them as follows.
1. Open Finder and locate IPhoto Library on the MAC HD under "Pictures", looking for the IPhoto Library Icon in the My Picture Folder (at least in my case). It is simple to find, as it is brightly orange colored and as a description it states, "IPhoto Library" not to be confused with the similar Icon which has a camera in front of it, identifying it as an Application.
2. Double click on the IPhoto Library name and rename it. I named mine "IPhoto Library IMAC-1"
3. In Finder click onto Macintosh HD. In the Search field, type in "IPhoto Library". All of your IPhoto Libraries will show up that are on your IMac and on any currently connected HD's.
4. I renamed them, example, IPhoto Library Seagate 3TB 1, IPhoto Library Seagate 3TB 2, IPhoto Library Seagate 3TB 3, IPhoto Library Lacie, IPhoto IMAC-1.
Items like Library6.IPhoto of only 4Kb (when one opens "Get Info" in the finder, is listed as an "IPhoto Library" "Kind" of file type.
When opened, it appears to contain full size images in a full size library, so perhaps this represents the icon pointing to the "Last import".
Can anyone tell me what that represents? I will not rename nor delete that.
By keeping the names of the IPhoto Libraries, consistent, descriptive of type of drive and the name of the Library you have assigned to it, then simply opening Finder and searching for "IPhoto Library" and looking for the colored icons, one can see, at a glance where each is located (by looking at the bottom of the Finder window for the path which will tell what drive it is located and the pathway to reach it). One will see each of their names.
This saves me from purchasing 3rd party programs to locate duplicates, to merge and establish and rename libraries. This probably will work well if I do no more than a batch of 50 pictures at a time.
It would appear that I will only do this massive procedure one time, making one library on my External HD, eliminating all of the duplicates as long as I let them have the same first part of the name, i.e., CRW_0580, and simply making a search. They should all pop up in my search. I can add on additional suffix names such as CRW_0580edit1, or pano, etc.
Does anyone see anything flawed in my above procedure?
Is there an economical easier way?
I am not sure I want to purchase Aperture, which apparently is overdue for an upgrade. I may want to wait. I may decide on Lightroom, my Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 provides for far better editing capability than IPhoto, at least in terms of exposure corrections.
Pros as I see it to my method -
Inexpensive $$$, no extra cost for extra programs
Full manual control as to what gets transferred, picture by picture
Cons
Seems quite timeconsuming for a first runthrough of the 3,000 photos, both individual and edited.
May have unforeseen consequences that I am not aware of.
Advice is appreciated. Though I have had this machine for several years, I am still trying to learn and have limited understanding. I find written instructions hard to understand and follow, escpecially not understanding the differences between different what I believe to be synonymous terms. I find YouTube videos informative but now answering all of my questions.

The duplication is unnecessary. Exporting creates a duplicate of the file. So now you'll have a duplicate of a duplicate. Exporting is not "working on" a file.
No it's not merging, it's exporting from one to the Finder and into another. No matter what lose something. If you export the Original you leave behind all the work you've done in iPhoto. If you export anything else, you lose the non-destructive editing and the ability to revert to the original. With merging you preserve that work. Yes, you can trash the old Library when you have completed the manoevre but no it's not the same thing as merging.
This User Tip
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
has details of the options in the Export dialogue. But in brief:
Current gets you the iPhoto Preview, used for sharing via media browsers. It's a jpg, medium quality missing metadata. Original gets the file you imported, unchanged and then you can export different version of the current version at different qualities. If you choose to export anything except the Original you do not get a Raw. There's no such thing as an "edited Raw", and you lose the connection between the original and the exported version. That means you've taken a non-destructive workflow and turned it into a destructive one.
The Tiff will certainly be higher qulaity and less likely to suffer generational loss in future editing but the file sizes are vast, often more than 10 times the size of the jpeg.
Put it this way, it would be cheaper to buy Library Manager than the disk you'll need to contain all the Tiffs. Unless you plan on a lot of editing, I'd go for a high quality jpeg as a reasonable compromise.
To be clear:
So, I guess my new question is, how can I edit the Raw image and keep it in a RAW format that IPhoto recognizes so that I can reprocess without any loss at a future time, or is it that once you edit a RAW image, then it is no longer a RAW image?
Once you edit a Raw it can no longer be a Raw. End of.
